THE WHO CARRY ON DESPITE SICK DRUMMER
2/7/2013

With only a few hours rehearsal to nail down the intricate drum parts to the Who's Quadrophenia, Roger Daltrey's solo drummer Scott Devours filled in for an ailing Zak Starkey during Tuesday night's (February 5th) concert at San Diego's Valley View Casino Center. Pete Townshend commended Devours during the show and Daltrey saluted Devours in a statement saying: "Quadrophenia's not an easy piece. To do what Scotty did took real guts."

Starkey will be back on board for Friday's (February 8th) show at Las Vegas' The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel / Casino, TheWho.com posted that his sickness was "not serious."

Part of the reason for Pete Townshend's eagerness to play out with the Who over the past decade is his connection with Starkey: "He studied at the feet of Keith Moon. He was eight years old when I first met him, his dad is Ringo Starr, but Keith Moon bought him his first drum kit. He was a big Who fan as a kid. So when John (Entwistle) passed away, suddenly there was Zak and I -- and then what I realized is that he and I have this extraordinary chemistry. And it's innate. It's a chemistry that's based on the fact that whatever I do, he's already doing it."

Shawn Perry wrote: "Knowing Scott, it doesn't surprise me at all he pulled this off. He's a great drummer and will be featured on VintageRock.com in the next couple of weeks...

Scott is a fantastic drummer if he can do Moonies/Starkey's bits with two hours practice time and pull off what he did. Loved seeing the John Entwhistle bass playing exhibition, he was also clearly one of the greatest."

Brian Murphy wrote: "This was my first Who show and it was incredible. So glad I have now seen them perform live and this helps completes seeing as many of my favorite bands/artists in my lifetime. The drummer, Scott Devours, stepped in at last minute and was just awesome. My favorite parts of the show was how they edited in John Entwhistle's bass solo during '5:15' and singing along on Who Are You (favorite Who song). Great lights, great sound. Hope everyone else had a great time!

Mike says: "I was at the show last night in San Diego. It was an incredible, masterful performance by the greatest band in the world. Third time I've seen them and Roger never sounded better. Scott WAS magnificent. Pete came out and informed the audience before the show what had happened. I really appreciated that. If you have a chance to see this tour DO NOT miss it. I'm still tingling with excitement over what I witnessed last night. Thanks guys!"
